NOISE–CON 2010. It will be held at the
Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel,
Grand Ballroom V, 700 Aliceanna
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.
The purpose of this panel session is
to raise public awareness on advances
in supersonic technology, and for the
FAA, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), and
industry to get feedback from interested
persons.
Public involvement is essential in any
future definition of an acceptable new
standard that would allow supersonic
flights over land. We anticipate that this
will be the second of many meetings
informing the public on developments
in the research of shaped sonic booms
and other technical and environmental
challenges that need to be addressed in
developing a new supersonic airplane.

NOISE–CON joint meeting can be found
